Haute Dog Carte

For a hot dog, it’s my favorite. I go light on the tomato bacon jam, heavy on the mustard. The classic always suits me better than the specials.

The hot dogs are delicious, but I have seen the owner treat the staff rudely twice, not sure if I will be back.

Great And Tasty Hot Dogs! This place kept appearing in my search for «Hot Dogs» I figured I’d give it a try. I’m so happy I did, THIS PLACE SHOULD BE NAMED «GREAT HAUTE DOG CARTE» my husband kept asking me for a bite, of course I forced to share. I bet he’ll get his own the next time :). Service is friendly, location is in clear view and the haute dogs are awesome! Give them a try the next time you’re in the area.

I love this place! Their hot dogs taste incredible and they couldn’t be any nicer, even when there’s a long line of people waiting. My 3 year old loves it because they always give her a piece of candy, but always ask very covertly whether it’s ok or not. The only negatives is the line is sometimes long, parking to get there can be a hassle and you have to watch out you don’t get hit by a car going down Falls while waiting. But that’s not their fault. Keep up the great job!

Finally made it out to this stand due to their limited hours. Food was awesome. Guys were super friendly and let me try some sausage and sauce to make sure it wasn’t too spicy for me. I ended up getting the country sausage dog and it was delicious. It’s a great quick lunch. I will definitely be back again.

Great little place if you are in the area.

These guys claim to have «quite possibly the best hot dog you’ll ever have». Have you had a chance to stop here? The Haute Dog Carte does have some limited hours — only 11am-​230pm and only on Wednesdays-​Sundays. So, maybe you haven’t randomly been on Falls road during the exact time they are open. I usually am not.
One day, though, I was lucky enough to be in the area, and they were open. They do have a good thing going. The guys here are super friendly, and manage to create something out of a small little roadside stand. My favorite is the buns, huge chunks of baguettes that the poke a hole in with a bread warmer.
We couldn’t decide so we split two. The HD Signature is your classic ¼ pound black angus beef dog. It’s finished with bacon & onion marmalade, tomato & onion jam and an authentic dijon mustard. The hot dog was good, but all I tasted was sweet, that tomato kinda sweet. I didn’t get much bacon flavor or much mustard. I might just ask for a plain dog next time and top it with my favorite topping — spicy brown mustard.
The other dog we tried was the Smoked Country Sausage. It is a beef and pork dog that is lightly smoked and then tossed on the grill. They serve this one with a honey and pommery (a french champagne) dijon mustard. I liked this one better; more depth of flavor. It also hit a few more spice notes on the tongue.
Overall — super great spot for lunch — that is if you manage to get there when they are open.

Literally hot dogs served out of a garage. But these are very high scale hot dogs. I usually go for their main hot dog — HD Signature. The marmalade is full of onion and bacon flavor. Their rolls are big hoagie /​french baguette style rolls. A hole is punctured in the bread and toasted from inside. This kinda makes eating the hot dog awkward though from the increased size.
There is usually a line during prime lunch hours, so expect to wait a bit. Also, bring cash. Hot dogs go for 5 – 6 bucks, $ 1 – 2 extra is you want a drink or chips. A little expensive for a hot dog and a drink for $ 7 – 8, but the quality is there. Beats anything at Rofo from across the street.

I made the mistake of moving away from Mount Washington and away from this glorious place about a year and a half ago. Getting back down there is difficult, especially with their limited hours.
The «haute dogs» are incredible. Who else serves homemade sauces inside half of a french baguette with a full specialty sausage. No matter what you decide to get, you’ll be happy.
On my most recent trip about 6 months ago, when I got there there was a slight lull in customers. When I was about to order, the power went out on the stand. The owner needed to go flip the breaker so he asked if I could hang out and watch the stand for a few minutes. I had no place to be, so of course I agreed. He was back in 5 minutes with a fully functional stand, and offered me a free dog. This is how you run a business, people! This guy is so friendly and awesome, and produces the best specialty dogs around.
I really need to move back to Mount Washington…

Love this place! Just tried them for the first time and totally agree with all the rave reviews. The Daily Dog was wrapped in salami with two kinds of mustard — delicious. My favorite thing was the buns though. They use lovely French bread with a hole through the center so everything is perfectly wrapped up. Genius!
They guy there today was super nice too. Great sense of humor, very helpful, and really made me want to return. Can’t wait to come back!

I never have been a big hotdog fan. But I absolutely love a haute dog! The hotdog it self is flavorful and the bun selection they use works and way better than your run of the mill roll. The original dog is my go to but I like to try the daily specials out often, one of my favorites is the super cheese dog that only comes around every now and then. Make sure to buy a root beer to pair with it!

Haute Dog is located right next door to Bonjour (the cute café) — it’s basically a little stand where you just stand in line, order your dogs, pay in cash, and then either eat it next door inside Bonjour or get it to-​go. The menu is limited, with their usual being the HD Signature, Spicy Italian, and the Breakfast Sausage Dog; they also offer the ‘Daily Chef Dogs’ that showcase that change on a daily basis (when we went, it was the Duck Dog with Peach Apricot Compote and Boudin Blanc with Citronette). The owner, Daniel, is a smart alec/​borderline rude, so some may not be a fan of that (just keep that in mind!). I tried the HD Signature (¼ lb. black angus finished with tomato and onion jam, bacon and onion marmalade, and dijon mustard); the Spicy Italian (dijon with a red wine vinaigrette), and a regular dog with 2 Utz chips. I was a fan of the HD Signature, as the black Angus sausage was actually pretty tasty! It had a nice snap, slightly salt, and great with the jam and the marmalade. I thought it was interesting that all the dogs were shoved inside a white roll (ever-​so-​slightly stale); a little too much bread, but an interesting concept. The Spicy Italian was just okay — it wasn’t that spicy but more herb-​y; I just wished that there was more sauce, The regular dog was alright, but forgettable. I’ve heard that there was a kimchi dog for one of their Chef Dogs specials, so I would love to try that one day when it’s available. The dogs are a little on the pricey side ($ 5-​$ 6) and it’s cash only! They’re opened everyday, only between 11 – 2:30PM, rain or shine!

YEEEEEAHHHH BUDDY!
First of all, it took me over half an hour to get here because it was raining and people didn’t know how to drive. There was also an accident on Northern Parkway so I had to take a long detour. I went to the shopping center next to the Haute Dog Carte and drove around it twice before calling the place. The guy told me to go a little bit to the right of the shopping center and I should find a little Pink building on the Right side. Which was Bonjour, another place I stopped by after picking up them DAUGS.
That HD Signature dog was devoured in less than 1 minute. I just couldn’t stop. I had to finish it as soon as possible. Why? Or else my brother would have devoured it even though he already had the Smokey Sausage dog.
How I regret only getting 2 dogs when I live all the way in Columbia. I should have gotten 4 more at least because they were just so damn tasty. I don’t go around trying to find the «best» hot dogs in the world so before you judge me, judge YOSELF FOO.
The HD Signature dog had this sweet, delicious, almost German-​like mustard inside with the HUGE sausage and great textured bread. It was PHIN OM IN ULL.
I only had a bite of the other one and that was really good too but since I only had 1 side, I couldn’t fully experience the whole dog.
These hot dogs smelled so good that I forgot to take pictures of em.
Next time which will be soon, I’m gonna get many dogs. Many…

COME FOR THE DOGS. STAY FOR THE FLOOR SHOW.
These have got to be the best hot dogs I have ever eaten. Period. But more than that is the experience of waiting in line with other happy people – happy because they know what’s coming: the best dogs in the cosmos. It’s the only restaurant in Baltimore where strangers talk to each other encouraged by the ongoing banter of the top dog and his eye rolling staff. The location is not great – on the narrowest of sidewalks along busy Falls Road. Honestly, you’ll risk your life getting one of these hot dogs, but better to die trying than to live any longer not having eaten one.

Get there early or you will be waiting in line. A lot of people flock here to experience something different and new. A very nice touch on the classic hot dog.
Customer service is excellent very personable. It’s a step up from going to a hot dog vendor on the street. The chef dog is always something that you wouldn’t have thought of

I LOVE HAUTE DOG. If I used Foursquare, I would be the mayor. I’ve worked up the street on Falls on and off for years and this is my favorite place to buy lunch hands down. You won’t find this service or variety for $ 5-​$ 7.50 anywhere else. Daniel, the owner, is sweet, attentive, knowledgeable and funny. His employees are also very nice. I go once a week on average since the weeks I don’t go are balanced by the weeks I go 3 times (whoops), but I guarantee I’ve never ordered the same dog twice in a row.
They have two unique specialty «chef» dogs available every day on top of their regular dogs (HD Signature, spicy Italian, Maharlika, smoked country sausage). Daniel creates absolutely delicious hot dogs and his chef dogs are very creative: cherry chili bison dogs, super cheese dogs, duck dogs with citrus sauce or foie gras, garlic chicken dogs with hummus, French sausage, andouille sausage, crab dogs, deli dogs, sloppy joe dogs, fajita dogs, lamb with mint chutney, reuben dog… seriously, they are so cool. You can see the chef dogs posted daily on their Twitter, @hautedogDaniel. They also do veggie dogs, but you should call ahead if you are short on time because they take longer to cook than other hot dogs (9 minutes, I think).

First of all, I’m so impressed by the engineering of this hot dog. Half of a baguette is inverted over a large metal skewer to make a hole large enough for sauce and dog. You can eat the hotdog vertically with no worry of leakage. Really brilliant.
I ordered the HD Signature — ¼ pound dog, with tomato and onion jam, onion marmalade, dijon, and bits of bacon. There was a generous amount of sauce. I felt like the tomato was more like a marinara than a jam. I would have liked more of the onion flavor to pop out, but it was still an amazing dog. Every bite was filled with bits of bacon. How could I be disappointed with that?
For $ 5, this is really a great deal. The hotdog is a generous size, and the flavors are so unique. I will definitely be back.

The Deli Dog!!! Salami wrapped dog. It’s not one they have on the menu on a daily basis. You have to catch it when it’s available as one of their Chef Dogs. But it’s oh so good.
I love everything about this street side little fabulously purple place. It’s so inviting & so is the owner.
If you’re in the area, please stop & give this place your business. Hands down, best hot dog around.

I’m not even finished eating as I type this. I’ve been wanting to try this place for so long. I ordered the HD signature and it was great. There really is a such thing as a gourmet hot dog.
Fresh bread, great spread and mustard and the hot dog was very big. The owner was very friendly also. I would definitely go back.

What’s better than a gourmet HAUTE dog? A gourmet HAUTE dog paid for and delivered to you by your senior resident and fellow after they drove 1 hour through snowy baltimore roads in the middle of the work day. NIICE.
This is perhaps some of THE BEST hotdogs you will ever eat. This modest shack off of Falls Road is run by a nice owner who individually makes all the food and runs the shack. He is a very nice fellow and gives you that local get to know you feel.
DOGS:
— the buns are homemade baguette baked fresh next door in the local bakery. The inside is carved into a nicely fitted pocket for the DOG and all the creative ingredients the chef can dream up.
— there is a CHEF DOG of the day, be sure to check the website to see unique dog is being served up.
HD signaTURE: ¼lb black agus dog with tomato and onion jam, bacon and onion marmalade, and authentic dijon. c’mon. its amazing. and all the toppings stay INSIDE the bun, no fess, just wonderfulness.
After trying the HD signature, try the others.
OVERALL: best dogs ever
